The Office of Research and Development, Eastern Visayas State University tallied 21 completed papers presented by faculty members across EVSU System, February 22-23 via zoom.
The Eastern Visayas State University-Ormoc City Campus, College of Business and Entrepreneurship, and College of Technology hosted the event.
The said In-House Review is an essential process that allows the institution to ensure the quality and integrity of the research being conducted within its walls. This further ensures that the research is of the highest possible standard in terms of the methodology and the results, and meets the standards of ethical research conduct.
“One key benefit of in-house review is that it provides an opportunity for researchers to receive feedback and constructive criticism from their peers and colleagues. This feedback can help researchers to identify any flaws or weaknesses in their research design or methodology, and to make improvements to their work. It can also help to ensure that the research is aligned with the broader goals and priorities of the institution, and that it is contributing to the advancement of knowledge in a meaningful way”, mentioned Dr. Gerry de Cadiz, the Campus Director of EVSU-Ormoc.
